4 years agoMarlon Chito Vera did the unexpected Saturday night, but unfortunately for Vera, it will be starred with asterisks. During the second round, it appeared Sean O'Malley tweaked his knee while moving in the center of the ring. Vera sensed the blood in the water and attacked. While working his ground and pound, the referee called the bout, but many disagreed with the stoppage. The question will always be asked whether Vera would have won the bout if O'Malley did not get injured. With the win, Vera has won five of his last six bouts. He landed 18 significant strikes and only needed 11 seconds of ground control to earn the TKO stoppage.--Matt Bricker - RotoBaller
